PETA, which owns 80 shares of Outback (NYSE: OSI), wants the company's suppliers to begin moving toward using a method called controlled-atmosphere killing by which the chickens are put to sleep. The process is already being used in approximately one-fourth of the European slaughterhouses, said Matt Prescott, spokesman for PETA.
"We're asking for a feasibility study now, not immediate implementation," Prescott said.
Prescott read a statement at the meeting asking Outback to consider PETA's resolution on controlled-atmosphere killing.
The resolution was a center of controversy, as Outback fought to exclude it from the meeting agenda.
